Ecover

What Ecover does

Ecover Srl is a privately held Italian manufacturer of tensile-structure covering systems for sports, industrial, and agricultural applications, headquartered in Montesilvano (Pescara). The company designs, produces, and installs custom enclosures using hot-dip galvanized steel trusses, GL24/GL28 laminated timber arches, and PVC membranes, with a differentiated triple-membrane system incorporating an insufflated air chamber for thermal efficiency. Core product lines include padel court covers in 1-to-6-court configurations, multi-sport covers for tennis, calcetto, volleyball, basketball and padbol, steel warehouses and mobile tunnels for industrial use, the Agro Tunnel agricultural line, and rapid industrial doors.

The company operates on a direct-sales model, accepting project specifications through website quote-request forms, email, and phone. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project sales priced on dimensions, material choice (steel, laminated timber, or the hybrid Elementa system), and customization, with a secondary recurring stream from maintenance and PVC tarp-replacement services across the installed base. Customers span sports clubs and padel centers, industrial and logistics operators, agricultural businesses, private individuals, and public entities, with a self-reported portfolio exceeding 600 completed installations over more than 20 years of operation.

Notable certifications include CE UNI EN 1090 (execution classes EXC2/EXC3), UNI EN ISO 1461 for galvanizing, and EN 14080:2013 for glulam timber, supporting sales to institutional and industrial buyers. International activity is evidenced by the GoAcademy project in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, alongside Italian-language, English, French, and German marketing collateral, indicating cross-border ambitions beyond the domestic Italian market.
